- Kapamilya actor Jed Madela denied resentment over exclusion on ABS-CBN 2017 Christmas Station ID.
- The 40-year old award-winning singer explained the reason why he did not perform on the annual station ID.
In the recent interview of PEP.ph, Kapamilya actor Jed Madela clarified the reason behind his absence in the annual ABS-CBN Christmas ID. The 40-year old award-winning singer denied resentment towards the network’s management.
“Ayoko namang magpakaplastik, nalungkot ako dahil di ako nasama pero ang totoo nun, it was a missight I think. Ang sinabi sa akin I was originally part of the list of the artists to perform talaga, lahat ng singers actually,” he told PEP.
Jed revealed that he was already prepared upon knowing that he was not included in the list of performers.
‘Tapos nung Sunday na yun, I was prepared. Umakyat ako dun sa recording, sabi nila wala daw, hindi raw ako part. Sabi ko, ‘Okay lang, okay lang naman.’ Pero yun nga, nagulat ang Star Magic kasi originally kasama ako sa listahan. Tinawagan sila ni Tita Cory [Vidanes] na, ‘Kailangan nandiyan si Jed.’ Nagkagulo-gulo ang schedule, I have no time ro record kasi nga kasabay nung kay Regine [Velasquez] na concert,” he shared.
“Sayang, if they recorded me earlier sana nung ready ako sa ASAP, I could have joined,” he continued.
However, Jed said that he understands the hitch during the recording schedule.
“Minsan ganun talaga, you cannot control schedules, opportunities and I’m sure they’re just following instructions kung sino ang nasa listahan, yun lang naman ang sinusunod nila. I don’t hold anything against the production [staff] kasi they are just doing their job. I feel sad pero okay lang yun, kasi, di ba, ang tagline natin ngayon, ‘Just Love.’ Love na lang,” he ended.
